Help Brad Overcome Medical expenses and car repair costs.

My name is Beverly. I am Brad's mother. But before you go questioning, I want to be honest in telling you I never go and spread my business all over the place. I have a tendency to be silent about my hard times. I am a strong believer and have always just battled my way through tough spots. As some of you already know, our family dynamics changed drastically four years ago. We are not in the same place financially as we were then. But we have worked our way through together as a family.

Brad was recently laid off from his job and his medical insurance has changed. He is scheduled for an appointment with a sleep study center in only 4 days for his severe sleep apnea. If you know anything about this it can be quite scary for those around watching the person go through this. He has now been told the insurance he had is battling it. He now has to come up with upwards of $800 just for the study and diagnosis. This doesn't take into consideration any equipment that may need to be purchased. We have no idea what the final bill will say.

In the midst of all this, Brad's car broke down a week ago and he had been waiting for the diagnosis of that. He just bought the car back in January so it is still under warranty but his part with deductible, etc. is $591.

As you can see, Brad is going through quite an ordeal and just needs us all to surround him with as much support as we can through this difficult patch. I wish I, as his mom, could afford to just pay it all. But, being totally honest, I simply don't have the money either. I am waiting on my own car repairs before I am running again.

Brad is the focus of this fundraiser and I am hoping that those that know Brad can help in any small way. If not financially, please unite in prayers. All of you who know him also know he is they type of guy who is always supportive in every way of others who call him friend. Now, he needs us.

We don't know what this medical bill will end up as but I do know my son is very important to me and I want him around as long as I can have him.

Thank you all for listening!
